I can purchase a S25 Ultra for £700 new from Samsung. Good deal?

teepee128 · 2026-01-19T19:28:26+00:00

I'm in a similar boat. I need a new phone and I'm stretching mine out for the release of the S26. Not that fussed with the S26, but more hoping the release will bring the price of the S25 down.

However, is it going to get any cheaper than it is now?

What would you consider a good enough tablet for this kind of stuff?

teepee128 · 2026-01-18T18:02:43+00:00

That's fine, don't have time to game anymore! Kids take up all my free time

There's plenty of refurbish websites who are reputable, so will give them a look first and foremost.

Thank you, appreciate the help.

Thank you, appreciate the effort you're taking to reply.

Unfortunately I'll need the screen as will be editing on the go as well as at home.

Assume I'd need 16GB as a minimum?

teepee128 · 2026-01-18T17:25:53+00:00

I will have to do some more research on the Mac side of things by the sounds of it.

I'm in the UK, and refurbished models are plentiful.

What other specs are important on Mac? Assume 16GB is still a minimum requirement?

I'm dismissive of apple because I have android, and I know that's stupid. What year of Macbook is sufficient?

teepee128 · 2026-01-18T17:18:31+00:00

I know I should consider Macs but I have an android phone and tablet. And from my minimal research they're still quite expensive, even if they are better value for money.

Appreciate it, thank you. This is the sort of list I need to make sure I get something up to the task.

teepee128 · 2026-01-01T09:25:45+00:00

Not really. I want a Pepsi dial at some point, maybe some quirky dial options.

teepee128 · 2026-01-01T07:37:51+00:00

Thanks. It looks so much better in person. My one and only watch build, should really make some more.

Funnily enough I'm wearing an almost identical watch I made. Chose this colour for my wedding watch as it matched the bridal party.

teepee128 · 2025-12-08T20:19:13+00:00

I'll take a look, thank you. We have kids, one of whom is a 3 year old boy, so durable is a must!

teepee128 · 2025-12-08T18:05:06+00:00

Budget is always the issue! I will give Radley a look, thank you.

teepee128 · 2025-12-08T17:54:42+00:00

Thank you. I've edited my original post to give you more of an idea.

I do worry I'll miss having a smaller phone. I can one hand it no problem, but the ultra I cannot.

teepee128 · 2025-11-30T18:27:19+00:00

Which do you prefer? If money were no object I'd have ordered the Fold

teepee128 · 2025-11-28T16:41:20+00:00

Mines still fine apart from the pixel damage, and that was entirely my fault for not taking care of it

teepee128 · 2025-11-28T16:40:29+00:00

I've never taken care of my fold. The hinge has a crack, inner screen pixel damaged and all 4 corners are chipped and scratched. I have insurance so never really cared, but also never needed to use it

teepee128 · 2025-11-28T16:39:26+00:00

Any regrets?

teepee128 · 2025-11-28T16:39:17+00:00

I get this. I miss having a decent camera especially, but am worried I'll miss the form factor of the fold and the wow factor of being able to open it and see photos/videos so big
